An Israeli airstrike on a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut resulted in the deaths of at least 37 people, including children and women. The strike, which targeted an underground bunker during rush hour, caused widespread destruction and ignited fears that the region is teetering on the brink of full-blown war.
Three children and seven women were among 37 people killed by an Israel i strike on Beirut that targeted a top, along with more than a dozen other militants. On Saturday afternoon, fires broke out after a barrage of rockets from Lebanon.
It was a spectacular show of military and intelligence strength, and long-term planning, embarrassing for the Hezbollah leadership and devastating in immediate military terms, decimating the top leadership and the rank and file. “I don’t think is interested in total war, but at the same time he cannot avoid a response,” said the retired major general Giora Eiland. “The question is: can he find something creative enough that … it will not drag both sides to total war.”
“I strongly urge member states with influence over the parties to leverage it now,” she told a meeting of the UN security council convened to discuss the Israeli attacks. “We have disagreements with the Israelis on tactics and how you measure escalation risk,” he said. “It’s something we speak with them about every single day. It is a very concerning situation.”
